American photographer Roger Ballen gets to the heart of the matter by asking instead if you’re an artist.
Ballen notes that you may be an artist if you meet the following criteria.
- You ponder the work of others
- You can redefine your understanding of words
- You see strong complex visual relationships
- You are aware that every moment is crucial and cannot be repeated
- You travel deep inside yourself to create a good picture
- You are able to look a little deeper by letting go
- You confront your fears
